Modern Equivalents of Brigs
From the seventeenth into the nineteenth centuries, alongside wooden waggonways, wooden sailing brigs enabled bulk transport of coal from NE pits down the East Coast of England, the North Sea being the motorway of the time. Currently, the world's largest wind farm (3.6 GW, 6 million homes) is being developed on the Dogger Bank, about 100 miles directly east of the Durham coast. The output is already being brought by undersea cables to Teesside. Several specialist ships are needed for construction & maintenance, and NE ports are part of the new industry.
